Schimel filed the notice of appeal back on September 9th. On Wednesday, the first documents of the appeal were filed.

In August, a federal court ruled Dassey had been coerced by investigators into confessing to helping his uncle, Steven Avery, kill Teresa Halbach. At that time, the judge ordered Dassey be released unless there was an appeal or retrial.

With that appeal now filed, the 7th Circuit Court will decide if the ruling stands.

Always Outspoken

I can only hope that if it finally comes out that this was indeed a set-up in retaliation for Avery’s lawsuit the ones behind it will be jailed until death.

That includes an obstinate AG who refuses to give a kid (who will very likely win this appeal) the benefit of the doubt that he deserves. IMO, if his conviction was overturned (which it was), he is now once again innocent until proven guilty – and should be granted bail.
